Oh my god yes.
Every fucking time I open reddit on my phone the entire website goes grey and they offer me to use the app… Unless the content is NSFW in which case they tell me I have to use the app.
Fortunately old reddit still works to get around that but it doesn’t have a mobile page layout
Not a valid option if you are looking specifically for lossless music
First big problem is that cops or anyone else can wear gloves
Obviously we have to ban gloves
Not OP but I’m curious about one thing I personally miss with kate.
Do you know if it is possible with kate to keep temporary text files open after closing the program the same way notepad++ can?
Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.
At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn’t really work consistently unfortunately.
My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.
I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.
The good thing: It works.
The bad things:
Please for the love of god, someone go and build an electric car that is as dumb as possible
yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID’s into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.
I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.
I hse keepassxc and store my password database in onedrive. My phone has an app keepass2android which can read the database in onedrive.
My father always called my sisters car “Beulchen”, which is the german diminutive word for dent. It was a very basic Ford Fiesta. No wireless car key, no electrically controlled side mirrors but at least it had AC.
Not sure if that’s the kind of device you are asking about but kobo e-readers run Linux. It’s allowed me to sideload my books over SFTP instead of always having to plug in a USB cable
I’m not sure about how this works in kodi but in jellyfin the client might request a different resolution which causes the server to try and reencode the provided file on the fly. In my case my server isn’t fast enough for this which leads to constant buffering
I believe my thinkpad E590 which I bought in 2019 already had captive screws. Still a 10 year difference at least
My mother got an HP 255 G8 laptop on which the webcam just will not work no matter what I do.
It’s enabled in the bios and the correct driver is installed but the built-in webcam is not detected. Also the keyboard got damaged with the space button only responsing to center presses after roughly a year of usage.
I know it’s a relatively cheap machine but the driver issue pissed me off
I believe it sometimes works based on when the book was published for some reason and that newer books may have a better DRM protection against this method
I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.
For my next books that suddenly wasn’t enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.
I’m never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it
Not the person you replied to but that’s it
That sounds awesome. I always wished to be able to visit other regions in my pokemon games. It’s one of the reasons why I enjoyed soulsilver so much
I don’t know if you were aware of this but K-9 Mail has joined up with the thunderbird developers and will at some point transition to thunderbird for mobile devices
As much as I’d love to, it is still one of the best places to read up on recommendations for stuff, be it hardware opinions or obscure book recommendations. It is certainly a better place for tech reviews than most of the other sites you find using search engines which just do stuff like “This is the best on a budget. This is the best for that. This is the best overall. Here is where you can buy all of that.”
Those sites never feel like they do a genuine review of stuff but instead try to sell you something. Plus they feel like they are copy pasting from each other.
